I love how all the Americans (assuming American- cause no self respecting Canadian would cry about how Canada was still a British colony) on here are all butt-hurt by your comment. Following their "logic", people from India, and Hong Kong use to be Brits when those places were British colonies. Durr...

Plus it's kinda silly saying that, "It was a British colony, so it was the British" when Canada had people from all over Europe settle in it. It's good to know that all the Welsh, Scottish, Irish, French, and Scandinavian, people who came to this country, and made it what it is today, were all considered British.
